I put roses next to my dad's hands while laying in the casket, and my brothers put pictures next to him.
The way the Santorum's mourned their beloved son coming home from the hospital is the way people mourned a long time ago, what's wrong with that ? as long as the doctors and health department gives their ok.
There were not hospitals like we have it today many centuries ago.
People were born at home, and sometimes died at home.

They often died at home in those days. My favorite book, Thomas Wolfe’s beautiful “Look Homeward Angel,” deals with this very sensitively and, I’m afraid, very realistically. As he says, death is messy. There is no way around it and we better get used to it.

I’ll never forget my 6 yo son reaching into my mon’s casket to kiss her (I wasn’t prepared for that!) and then stepping back “I hope you have a good time in Heaven, Grandmommie” and my 8 YO daughter touching my grandmother’s nose. We all have to learn about death our own way and if we have have good examples, we handle it ok.

My heart goes out to the Santorum family for this private time being mocked by this miserable human being.
